Bug ID: 94272 Summary: machinectl shell causes screen to get scrambled Product: Mesa Version: 11.1 Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) OS: Linux (All) Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: Drivers/Gallium/r600 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Reporter: rosenp@gmail.com QA Contact: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org
Typing "machinectl shell" on GNOME 3.18 and typing in the password to get a root shell causes the entire screen to get scrambled with a junk image. all random looking and whatnot. su and sudo cause no problems. neither does ssh root@localhost. I can't see any useful journald output either.

--- Comment #1 from Michel Dänzer michel@daenzer.net --- Looks like machinectl / polkitd is doing something funky wrt VTs: The first time I run it, it switches away from X to an empty VT with just a blinking cursor. However, the line
(II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch
only appears in the Xorg log when I switch to *another* VT, so apparently the Xorg server/driver doesn't get notified about the first VT switch. As such, it can't really be a graphics driver issue. Reassigning to Xorg for now.
